The head of the not-for-profit driving Facebook's Libra digital currency has said he is confident that seemingly endless regulatory difficulties can be ironed out - paving the way for the token to launch in the second half of 2020.
Bertrand Perez's comments came on Thursday - the same day French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire warned "We cannot authorize the development of Libra on European soil."

The Finnish peer-to-peer exchange says that, while using the browser is not against its terms of service, it does increase the risk of BTC being stolen.
